summary
The war was started by disagreement among the people of Mexico.most of these disagreements were based on the dictatorship of Diaz as president. Diaz stayed in office for a total of thirty years as president of Mexico. Diaz gave most of his power in the hands of a select few. The people of Mexico had no power to express their opinions. The Mexican people also had no power to vote for a president. The wealth was only given to a select few so many of the Mexicans lived in impoverished and low classed communities. there was so much injustice everywhere. Around the early 20th century a new group of ambitious generations determined to break into the world of politics arose. they where not given this opportunity because the current officials were to indulged in their power and wealth. the current government officials were not ready to give up all that power. This generation believed in themselves to be ready to take their role in the political world. The only thing standing in their way was Diaz. Even though they were suppose to get their right to vote Diaz and his supporters would use their political and economic resources to keep their power over Mexico. One of the strongest believers that Darsey should give up his reign of being a president. Madero started a anti group which he would put together between elections. He would travel the country campaigning his ideas. When he learned of Diaz re-election he left and went to the united states. He then in exile he then created the Plan of San Luis. This manifesto declared that the elections were fraud. He did not view Diaz as a la git president. Therefore he did not respect Diaz. He than made a daring move and declared himself the president. He then promised to return all land which Diaz had taken away from the poor of Mexico. He then convinced pascual Orozco and Fransisco villa to join the revolution. Together they earned the alliance of northern Mexico. They were very upset about the horrible ranchers and land owners that ran the land. Even though they had no military training they were born strategists.
